Abstract: A 57-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a soft polypoid lesion in her upper left alveolar mucosa that had been present for 2 months. There was slight tenderness over the left maxillary sinus, a salty taste and occasionally nasal bloody discharge, but no pain, eye problems or regional lymphadenitis. Her medical history was clear. On extra-oral examination there was slight tenderness on palpation over the left maxillary sinus.
